Most of Coimbatore's MSMEs keep accounts in Tally and run production from job cards, registers and the owner's daily walk around the floor. That is efficient at a small scale. It breaks when the owner cannot be everywhere.

01

What Tally cannot tell a manufacturer

Cost of a specific partWhich job is stuck whereRejection by operationMaterial lying with job workersMachine utilisationDelivery commitments at risk
02

Module-by-module plan

Costing comes last because it depends on everything before it being right.

1. Stores and job workKnow what you have and where
2. ProductionJob cards on tablet, output and rejection
3. Sales and dispatchOrders, schedules and invoices
4. PurchasePlanning from orders and stock
5. CostingOnce data is reliable
6. AccountsPost to Tally or move
03

Keeping it simple

Tamil screens for the floor, barcodes on job cards and entry at the point of work. If an operator needs more than three taps, the design is wrong.

04

AI

Supplier bills entered by photo, quotations estimated from similar jobs and a daily summary to the owner's phone of what needs attention.

05

Cost

Tally and add-ons renew annually; ERP subscriptions bill monthly per user. We charge once and include a year of AMC.
